I misspoke. I should have said CO sensor for Carbon Monoxide, not CO2 which is Carbon Dioxide.

[@jodiplock4784]

You are my favorite Great Looper because you show the good,the beautiful,the bad and the ugly (I’ve also learned a few things)👍🏼

[@MV_Checkmate]

Thank you so much for the nice comment.

[@TomMcNabb]

Thanks lots of good information.

[@MattGrant-d2x]

Another great video

[@MV_Checkmate]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kevinyoung5575]

Great information. Thanks for another great video.

[@MV_Checkmate]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikaelpedersen1327]

A lot of great information in this video! Thanks for sharing.

[@MV_Checkmate]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CMan-602]

I love technology but do not do camera capture; no reason to. This was exceptional Capt. Mike. Always wondered how the deletion of the stick was done. Remember to get some Conecuh bacon, sausage, while in the lower south. Do a breakfast cook and share. Having a blast following your journey sir. Cheers🎉

[@MV_Checkmate]

I will do a breakfast cook just for you. Stay tuned.

[@DooDooFairy]

Informative as usual thank you

[@MV_Checkmate]

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks!

Welcome!

Great video. A boat tour would be nice. When will you be back in Florida?

[@MV_Checkmate]

My think-so is around January to cross my wake.

[@robfig8892]

Will we ever get a boat tour?

[@MV_Checkmate]

Yep, when I get done with the Loop. It’s way too messy right now and my second stateroom is a garage full of junk that I shouldn’t have bought.

[@tascosaeagle]

Not sure why but the volume is slowly dropping even though my volume is on max .

[@MV_Checkmate]

@@tascosaeagle hmm, let me look into it. I did run a different audio normalization routine this time. Maybe I shouldn’t have. Thanks for letting me know.

[@LeeUtke]

Curious, how long can you typically stay on the hook based on the amount of fresh water you can carry and also before you need a pump out?

[@James2RTX]

Can you provide a list of all the "toys" you presented? Love your videos!

[@MV_Checkmate]

GoPro camera latest model, Panasonic HC-WXF1 camera, Insta-360 camera, the hat clip and rail mounts are made by Ram-Mounts, tripod is a Ulanzi-F38.

[@robertlewisvideo]

Great Video. What Movie Camera was that? And would you recommend that one. Thanks

[@MV_Checkmate]

It’s the Panasonic HC-WXF1. It’s a great camera but very pricey. I think you could do better for half the cost.

[@robertlewisvideo]

@@MV_Checkmate Thank You.

[@nerdgarage]

Davinci, as far as I've been able to determine, does not provide any means to zoom in to frame by frame level in order to make cuts/edits at a specific frame. It's all much higher level and would work fine for most uses, but I need to make cuts at exact frames. Am I missing some setting or hotkey ?

[@ThomasKuhar]

Warn people NOT to use the nebo tracker if they're planning a crime spree! 😁

[@MV_Checkmate]

😊

[@beechvflyer]

Can you give us a link to where you obtained the portable heater... Please and Thank you!

[@SwitchbackXThunter]

They are available literally everywhere. Walmart, Amazon, Lowes, Home Depot. He actually mentioned in the video he purchased it at Lowe’s.

[@jimporter6084]

Have you had the boat out in heavy seas? I would think the dingy would need to be strapped down tighter.

[@MV_Checkmate]

Yes, the Chesapeake Bay really tossed me around for about a weeks worth of my trip. I have an upper strap to help take some of the weight off of the hoist and I also have two tie straps that keep the Dinghy from swinging around.

[@paulww]

Sucks getting old... but it sure beats the alternative! 😉

[@MV_Checkmate]

You got that right!

[@wmmoran]

The heater you showed does not have a CO2 sensor, it is an oxygen detection safety pilot system. It is designed to shut off the gas supply to the heater if the oxygen content in the room drops to 18% from a normal 21%+. You should already have a CO2 detector on the vessel. Also watch out for Carbon Monoxide! That is more dangerous than CO2. Just be careful and leave a porthole open for ventilation. Be safe, I want to see more videos. I have seen too many deaths due to portable heaters in my lifetime.

[@ThomasKuhar]

NO cats were harmed in the making of this video!

[@MV_Checkmate]

Ha!

[@wk845]

The sensor your heater has is a CO (carbon monoxide) sensor, not a CO2 (carbon dioxide) sensor. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is a byproduct of combustion such as the propane heater you are using. Carbon monoxide is deadly and has killed a lot of boaters over the years. Carbon dioxide is a constant presence on your boat. It is the byproduct of your own respiration (breathing).

[@MV_Checkmate]

Yep, you are correct. I misspoke. It’s CO. It’s hard to keep your head straight when you’re rambling on.

[@wmmoran]

According to the product literature the heater he showed has an oxygen detection safety pilot system. It is designed to shut off the gas supply to the heater if the oxygen content in the room drops to 18% from a normal 21%+. It is not a CO2 nor CO detector.

[@MV_Checkmate]

@@wmmoran cool, thanks for sharing that.

[@carpediemwithLesli]

Is DaVinci Resolve able to edit videos offline?

[@MV_Checkmate]

Not quite sure what you’re asking, but that is how da Vinci works. It is not an online editor.

[@Steve-qn8gn]

Use electric heaters not propane and you don’t have to worry about any gasses. Really bad idea and then you don’t have to spend money on sensors or anything like that.

[@MV_Checkmate]

The idea of propane was to keep from starting my generator every morning. As I mentioned in the video if I need more heat, I crank the generator and run my heat pump air conditioning units. The small propane is just for 15 to 20 minutes to break the chill while I’m sitting in front of it. It must be used with common sense.

[@Steve-qn8gn]

@@MV_Checkmate I get it, I didn’t realize that your batteries weren’t charging fast enough on the hook before I originally commented.

[@Steve-qn8gn]

DJI was just put on the Chinese military list by the US

[@MV_Checkmate]

Yes, and no. Don’t read too deep into what people are saying about that issue. DJI resolved their concern in the last update by turning off the data collection, which is what they were worried about.

[@Steve-qn8gn]

@@MV_Checkmate oh I know, it was just an interesting note considering you were talking about yours. Also, the fact they were data collecting the way they were is a little cringy.

[@MV_Checkmate]

@@Steve-qn8gn yes, I agree.

[@butchblum5676]

I am not a boater but find your videos and explanations interesting. As I mentioned in another comment, I an in Mobile so if I can assist you or give you a ride somewhere let me know. I am a Real Estate broker in Mobile.

[@MV_Checkmate]

I appreciate that. I will let you know.
